interesting
the response to this is pretty interesting. I mean, you have plenty of more adventurous pieces, many that are a lot longer, many that have more flights of fancy. But this simple piece seems really to have touched many people deeply. That's interesting to me...
I like this a lot, and it's inspiring in its simplicity. Thanks for the inspiration!

You nail somehting significant
Yes Jim. You nail somehting significant here. There is a lot to say about simpliciy. I didn't want to expand on the issue in the song description, but what you write here I've been pondering over a lot — in connection to this piece particularily.

On my own scale, the highest of artworks are creations that are simple and at the same time filled — with ... something ... meaning ... or whatever be the approriate term.

Such pieces doen't happen every day. As any jamming musician I can create a dozen pieces a day, but these special ones we are talking about here; simple, meaningfilled, "off-cliché" pieces, they aren't "creatable", they rather "come". It is as if they already had life and form, and just need to be clothed. For me personally this happen rarely; not as often as once a year.

The simple pieces also require a lot from the performance; presence, timing, nuance etc. Actually I've tried to record this one many times during the last three years, but I've not become satisfied. I am not totally satisfied with this recording either, but hope that one day I'll be able to nail it the way I want it. In that case I'll be back here to post...

This song is almost more a question than an answer, and perhaps that's where you want it to be? It's great, simple, clean, yet so short? I remember you doing long, well thought out songs. Perhaps this is a concept, or meant to be this short? We simply do not know. What is in here however, is very melancholic. With the chosen art graphic – and I do not know what you mean – but it makes me sad. And sadness is sometimes good, you know. If I can correct myself, not sadness, nor melancholy, but longing. Now, I long. For, something.

Guitar player since 11. Can't play other instruments than acoustic guitars, well maybe aside from instruments that are tuned the same way; like ukulele or bass guitar.
In younger years I took inspiration from classical guitar, American acoustic... [see more]
